- apt-cacher: Caching proxy server for Debian/Ubuntu software repositories
Apt-cacher performs caching of files requested by apt-get (or other APT clients
such as aptitude or synaptic). Apt-cacher can also proxy Debian Bugs SOAP
requests for apt-listbugs. It is most useful for local area networks with slow
internet uplink or as a method for reducing multiple large downloads.
.
When a file or package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has
the requested version, in which case it sends the package to the user
immediately. If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user
at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users.
.
Apt-cacher has been optimized for best utilization of network bandwidth and
efficiency even on slow low-memory servers. Multiple ways of installation are
possible: as a stand-alone HTTP proxy, as a daemon executed by inetd or as a
CGI program (deprecated). Client machines are configured by changing APT's
proxy configuration or modification of access URLs in sources.list.
.
The package includes utilities to clean the cache (removing obsolete package
files), generate usage reports and import existing package files. Optional
features include a file checksum verification framework, IPv6 support, FTP and
HTTPS (proxying only) support as well as the simultaneous caching of different
repositories (e.g Debian and Ubuntu).
.
Apt-cacher can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy, with no need to modify
client's /etc/apt/sources. list files (and even reusing its config and cached
data), or as an alternative to approx.
